    This is a great post. I would put this in the top 5 of the great posts i've read over the years on this matter.

    The thing is, anger alone doesn't get it too far. I sure don't mind that someone like you comes along and shakes it up a bit now and then, though. I have a nephew graduating from high school this year.

    Tell him, "Go Air Force"... if college is not a viable option to him and he is considering the military.
    The world is always going to have commercial airliners and people to fix them.

    Do people really think Bush honestly finds this stuff funny? I mean, maybe he really is a sadist ... Odds are, though, he's just a relatively incompetent president with a habit of smirking when he gets nervous.

    I think he found philosophy between a couple lines of coke and a shot of Jack Daniels.

    well if he cant keep a straight face when he is talking about this disastrous war something is mentally wrong with him. did LBJ chuckle and smirk every time he talked about kids dying in Vietnam? i mean the subject matter we are talking about is the leaked report from the iraq committee recommendations on the situation in iraq. and george bush's response to their suggestions is to laugh and say there is no way we are getting out of iraq in the foreseeable future. how many kids are going to die in that time span? lose libms, kill innocent civilians? kill people fighting for power in their own country through civil war? none of this is humorous. and if the president of the united states cant refrain from laughing while discussing such matters he needs mental help. he is the most disgusting pig that has ever represented this country.

    I think he cares... but, I don't think he knows how to accomplish it. He has that macho shithead mentality that shooting up the place make you a big man or something.
    I seriously think that he really believed in the one outcome... Gulf War II. Liberation and parades and F-16 Fly-bys and boulevards in Baghdad named after him... just like Dad's boulevard in Kuwait.
    Too bad he didn't seek advice from his Dad (until now). Turns out, Jesus Christ is not the best source of advice when it comes to creating and execution a battle plan that cause the deaths of others in a foriegn land.

    He has a certain belief in the model of an American President, and in that, I think he cares. I don't think the macho shit really appeals to him personally.

    Think of it like this... George W. Bush is proof that modern humans evolved from chimpanzees. Then, it'll all makes sense to you.

    No... I picture him seeing himself as a tough guy... like Ronald Reagan up on a horse or Pops out there running the C.I.A. But, he can't quite pull it off since he seems to have problems figuring out the complexities of the bicycle and the correct method to employ when eating a pretzel.

    exactly. and because the most avid war supporters and bush supporters are too afraid to go fight in this war they find so magnificent, who will be left to fight it 10 years from now? do you really think people will still be joining the armed forces in enough numbers to sustain this occupation for another decade? i will move my son out of the country before he has to die or murder for halliburton, but it does make me angry that it will have to come to that.


    do us all a favor and go now.

    Are you suggesting that a draft is plausible in the next ten years? If so, why? Do you have family members/relations that could be affected by a draft? Does this concern you? Why or why not?

    no, I was suggesting robbie leave and find a country he likes better.

    no need for a draft. possibly ever again, IMO. we have the most powerful military in the world by far.

    no, what he means is he would prefer to live in a country where nobody questions the government or gets angry when the government tramples the constitution or the bill of rights. he means that he would prefer there be no dissent. he means that those who are unhappy with the government should just leave the country so that all that is left is unquestioning sheep blindly obeying everything their leader tells them. he would prefer that nobody speak up when they think something is wrong, that our country would be a better place if there was an all powerful master who we all served loyally.

    I think he finds comfort in elitism. He has friends who believe in him for the fact he was born well. I don't think this translates into a tough guy mentality. I think he is so-used in his office, and in way, may also explain his success in getting re-elected. He comes across as common that way, in this media age.

    Or, she's just hopelessly optimistic.

    I need to re-write this. It doesn't make much sense.

    His statement was probably true ... The problem being, even the most powerful military in the world cannot fix a situation like Iraq.
